Robocop
Robocop, motion picture about a police officer in near-future Detroit, Michigan, who is murdered and then rebuilt as a powerful cyborg. Released in 1987, this box-office hit film was directed by Paul Verhoeven. The OCP Corporation presents a solution to the problem of crime in the city, where violence and particularly cop-killing reigns. They have developed ED209, a gigantic self-motivated police robot with machine guns for arms. The machine quickly reveals a complication in its logic circuits, however, and the project is aborted. OCP makes another attempt to penetrate the market when heroic cop Alex J. Murphy is shot down by a group of sadistic gangsters. They rebuild Murphy as Robocop, a clunky metallic-voiced indestructible juggernaut. Though Robocop’s half-man half-machine brain is supposed to be purely logical, some vestiges of his former identity remain.
